Product Fact Sheet

QX-1
An SBQ (photopolymer)-dual-cure "hybrid" emulsion
offering wide exposure latitude, easy decoating, and
reliable printing performance under humidity extremes.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

QX-1 is a one pot, SBQ sensitized, dual-cure "hybrid" emulsion that combines the convenience,
exposure speed, and shelf life of pure photopolymer emulsion with the durability, versatility, and
imaging properties of dual-cure emulsion. QX-1 is compatible with all plastisol, UV, and solvent-
based ink systems. Its matte finish virtually eliminates printing problems associated with high
and low humidity conditions. QX-1 is formulated to provide wide exposure latitude and is easily
reclaimed even if underexposed and used with aggressive inks and washup solvents. QX-1 is
durable, and has excellent resolution, good definition, and very good wet strength. Its high
solids content (37%) provides good stencil build per coat, excellent bridging of coarse mesh,
and fast drying. Viscosity: 6000 cps (at 25° C.). Shelf life: one year.
